New Delhi. Indian Premier League franchise team Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) may part ways with team captain KL Rahul in the new season. According to media reports, the team captain can be released before the mega auction. Earlier, some pictures of the on-field argument between the team owner and him during the match had gone viral. Now the news of his release has come to light. If this happens, Rahul will be one of the senior Indian players going to the IPL auction.
According to the news of Sports Star, LSG is planning to retain three players. West Indies wicketkeeper batsman Nicholas Pooran took over the responsibility of captain in the absence of KL Rahul last season. This player will be retained with a huge amount. Apart from this, a decision has been taken to retain LSG's discovered fast bowler Mayank Yadav and leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi.
Mayank Yadav recently made his debut in the T20 series played against Bangladesh. Now he is no longer an uncapped player, hence LSG can retain him for Rs 14 crore or Rs 11 crore. Ravi Bishnoi used to get Rs 4 crore as an uncapped player. Now there is sure to be a big increase in his salary too. All IPL franchise teams have to submit the list of players to be retained by 31st October.
